What about "call me Ishmael" on the east face of the whale dome? looked at it... Seems bold.

The top two pitches are 5.11 and certainly have a PG rating.

How do you even know about this route?

As far as I know one has repeated this obscure route.

I've climbed with DDC a little bit lately and he recommended it to me. I got up there with a friend and after looking at those two pitches (looked pg at the least) i climbed blood brother instead. Would like to give it another chance though.

Oak Creek Canyon> The Waterfall> Right Wall> The Accidental Tourist
Shameless plug, but the route needs a repeat

Sweet Dreams 5.12 R at the Waterfall has shut every suitor I know of down, and sent them slinking away, thankful to be alive... A true Dan Foster test of skills. Brittany Griffith declared 5.12- on TR, but those who have tried it on lead seem to think very differently. I think it checks in at solid .12. Did I mention the R section happens to coincide with the crux? The best quote I have is, "the gear was so bad I couldn't even bail off".

I believe a number of the Louie Anderson routes at the Homestead have never been repeated. 'The Almighty' in particular comes to mind.

How about the "Bandit" on Eagle rock area. I see it in Steiger's book but no sign of it in Richard's. It's reported to have a second but any one out know of a third? It's not that hard at .11 but I remember it's a bit physical.

Wolverine at the Waterfall was recently sent by Bloom and hasn't been repeated, also there's a new 12b called What are you on? that hasn't been repeated clean.

how about ASG or the route between Torpedo and Jane Fondas at the Forks.... oh yeah, they still await a first ascent....

Several lines at the waterfall have just gone up that need a second. Thin faith 5.13, and The Trident 5.13- as well as some older routes like broken chain 5.12, Slaughterfall 5.12, and Suzie and Ishmael Do the Nasty 5.12+ that need some lovin.

Are you guy's that bored that you need to keep track of climbs that have only been done once. Wait I must be bored to have read this much of this post.

Thanks Darren and Robbie!
In response, these are the routes I know of at the waterfall that only have one ascent, not because they are crazy hard or scary, but they are so new, not many people have had a chance to try them out! Send 'em and let me know what you think!

Thin Faith
The Trident
Consensual Hex
Butternuts
Suzie and Ishmael do the Nasty
Broken Chain

The picture of 5 mile is of Stoned mans dream, one of my favorites, the angle is funny, the route is 5.8.
I've been there to climb 3 times, I used camp there before I learned to climb.

I have a few unrepeated routes in the .10 and 11 range. Billy goat is one.http://www.mountainproject.com/v/billy-goat/108405320

You can cross off butternuts Joel.
